I'm an electrician (25 years) & can appreciate people who excel in their craft... As this gentleman plainly displayed in this video. InF___ingcredible! 👏🏼👍🏻
That's a killer set up right there! I have a big jointer but I'm still going to build one of these for exactly what you showed in the video. Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas and craftsmanship!
I just finished building a jointer sled for my table saw, this looks like a good next project. I am always amazed at your ingenuity Izzy.
Thank you very much!
Two passes instead of 20. Yes please
Does make it fun
Awesome jig and building process Izzy. Thank you much for the info, I always enjoy yours and Maggie’s ingenuity!
And unlike ending up with a bucket full of sawdust and chips, the off-cut could be possibly repurposed or used in a functional way somewhere else.
So what's the stand you're using before the bandsaw table. I like the idea but seems like it requires as much room as jointer although I get that you now have a multi purpose tool. Maybe I'll try building a small version to see how it would work in my shop which doesn't have much space
It's a quick connect folding infeed I made for the Bandsaw. It folds up in seconds and stows away in seconds
@@izzyswano you have a video on that as well? I’d love to have an infeed table like that.
@@TWC6724 i did do a build for that just banged it together. Might be good content in the future
Who cares about the jig....Maggie talked...
I know, She did so Good!
Dang. I was hoping they gave you the jointer/shaper thing you demoed a few months back for free. You’re one of the most honest, thorough, and knowledgeable influencers on here. They should hook you up.
Because remember that your tools will always love you, even when your wife says she doesn’t. 😂
hahahahaha! Maggie is a good sport!
This is exactly the sort of thing that made me subscibe to your channel many years ago.
Excellent work.
What took you so long, I have my joiner for 30 years...lol...😅
Be sweet to Maggie, who else will put up with your crap. lol. and pray for my Wife She puts up with mine.
What a great build. The minute I saw it I thought of Hand-i-craft, a one-armed woodworker, whom has just started using a band saw as his main large cut capacity. This could be a great addition to his shop, his safety, and his growth as a woodworker. Love the build thank you.
Leo is awesome, not only one hand but his non-dominant hand ... a true inspiration, as is Izzy of course 👍
Really nice jig but I’m more impressed with your bandsaw it’s a weapon and your in and out feed table is awesome and thanks for always dropping great content
Nice jig Izzy, you get a plus when doing it with your jig the thin off cuts for laminating and reduced chip waste
Keep him honest Mags. 🤪💕🤪
She is an amazing woman! Plus, she puts up with me. so win win. lol
Damn fine piece of ingenuity. Once again Izzy you prove worthy of my title for you....."The Dalai Lama of Jigs". No way Maggie is mean to the Dalai Lama! Maggie looks like she could be tough but I doubt she has a mean bone in her body.
Does anyone think a drum sanding cylinder might provide a thinner stock removal like a commercial joiner would which a bandsaw doesn't? The rest of the vertical configuration would remain the same.
Well, that's great if you have a powerful bandsaw like yours but for the majority of us, will it work with a 12" craftsman bandsaw?
Excellent jig! Bought me a bandsaw a while ago and was just in the process of how do I fix something and slide it along the saw? It might be a bit smaller then yours but the concept is great. And the need for a jointer has left the building. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing another of your great ideas! Now, how long before Rockler comes out with their version???
"I never said that!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You two are such a great couple. I was thinking that maybe you could somehow use your saw mill for as a way to "joint" wider material.
I have been thinking about a solution like this for a while. Great video!
Another great jig from the master!
Super cool in-feed table there too.
Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you too!
This is awesome.
Thank you
What ever happened to that Jointer machine you released a preproduction video review for. I was ready to order.
I did the R&D on it and thought about keeping it, but we really don't have the space for a tool we will only use 2 or 3 times a year
@izzyswan are they being sold yet, where?
yes, they sell them at Phantom cnc Shop. they are not online yet
Is it just the width of the lumber that makes using the band saw more suited than using the table saw for jointing with a similar jig?
This system would be easy to modify to be a full on sawmill. Great video Izzy!
That’s what Zi was thinking
Excellent. I see a smaller version for all sorts of cool stuff. Don't feel bad sport - Mrs. Skiggly does not love me anymore either. Completely shut down all tool purchases regardless how much I whine and complain. "I NEED IT" used to work. Now she asks "WWID?" (What Would Izzy Do)
Excellent jig although one of the key elements to its success is the infeed- outfeed tables with miter slots matched to the bandsaw slots. Until I can build those I will probably continue to secure pieces to a slab of MDF and run them through my thickness planer
Did you build those bandsaw in-feed and out-feed tables? I need those!!
I'm not sure a machine notorious for drift is best suited for this task of keeping things planer.
Its been working great for us.
so izzy you picked on your wife in this video how long are you sleeping on the couch for
I love you guys! you always come up with fantastic idea's.
That's just brilliant, Izzy! Thanks a bunch for all the tips! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank You!
GREAT video, Izzy!! Being someone else who doesn't have an excess amount of zero's in my bank account, it's refreshing to see how others - similarly endowed - resolved unique problems. More so than wood, when I was restoring historic race cars I often had to... INVENT... ways of producing final products without the benefit of all the 'gee-whiz, no-shit' tools that major shops possessed. Seven championships in ten years... I think I got it right!
No way I would give up my 12" jointer! I would also 100% have a 12" jointer over a bandsaw, the bandsaw is by FAR the least used tool in my shop. I guess it depends on what you do!
Everybody's workflow is different. Personally, it makes me cringe just to think about having to choose between any of my machines. 😣
MINE, MINE, MINE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
All the Best, Chuck.
As I'm sure other people have said, You are the jig master!! I can't tell you the number of your jigs, I have built.:) I think if I built all the jigs you have ever created, I would never get anything else done!! I think you should just stop building jigs for a while, cause I'm running out of space to store them!!
Thats cool...
I had a very nice heavy old growth Honduras Mahogany Plank with awesome deep grain, took it to a boat builder to cut it into 2 planks and ended up with 2 butchered planks. He should of had a jig like that.
Nice Jig and useful for many things, especially long Veneer Flitch for more exotic wood, but for the purpose of a jointer you just took off a lot of wood. That looks close to a 1/4 inch. With a jointer and planner that's a lot of discard. It might not matter much if you only plane a few times a year. You are also basing the 2 for 90 degrees for the 10 or 12 inches. Don't see getting a consistent square. If you are getting hardwood from a wholesale supplier can't see it turning out square boards, that are ready for light sanding. Really nice jig though and will build it for all the other uses, mainly turning logs to dimension lumber.
Hey Izzy, what happened to the phantom jointer
It’s a good jig, but I’m not giving up my nice affordably used jointer… it’s a tool that can do so much more than dimensioning up rough lumber
A good jig for sure! Basically you built a small version of a saw mill carriage ! Good thinking! I agree a nice wide joiner is nice but the space and money the require for occasional use is hard to justify!
I have said it before, you are a WOODWORKING GENIUS! Thank you for video tip. I will try it out. Best wishes.
As usual another awesome video Izzy. LoL for "not loving" being equivalent to "denying a tool purchase". BTW by that logic I am quite lucky even after being married for 30 years - no tool purchases denied 😊
And yes, Alex Snodgrass is the Bandsaw Guru 🙂 - I am his follower too.
loved the simplicity of this jig. I'm fairly new to the art of woodworking and I'm quickly learning that jigs are super important for a professional job well done. thanks for sharing loved the infeed and outfeed table, where can I learn more about that?
@izzyswan I tried the router table, the table saw, & a few methods I’m ashamed of… I can’t get a jointer right now. I did get a bandsaw for Christmas though. You have no idea how excited I am. This is genius. I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. TY so much!!!
I'm happy to see that you're mobile on your own two feet.
I just saw your latest video, and I like it, but I wish I had a larger band saw. I'm starting to do larger projects, and my 9-inch isn't working for some of the size of rough cut wood I have .
You might flip your jig to the outside of the blade, put supports and you can work with is wide as you want.
IMHO, I believe a cabinet maker needs a jointer hands down from my experience working with one. Just a lot easier. I get the room requirements though.
I totally agree!
Izzy, your stuff is always just GENIUS!😲I think Maggie did you a BIG favor saying no. Not just saving money, but for longer and wider boards, it COULD produce better results, due to stable material handling. That Powermatic Jointer you showed is a GREAT tool, but if memory serves, thats a chip shield and does nothing to hold the material flat on the table, so on long stock like you were milling, any error suporting the material on the feed could show up on the milled board. Setting up featherboards or other hold downs, just seems like a lot more trouble. In a small shop, your design just seems more doable and bulletproof. THANKS for sharing this.😎
This is awesome! I haven't seen a jig for flattening the face of a board before.
Glad you like it!
Great video Izzy and the hard work in editing was worth it
Now I have to make this awesome jig keep them coming sir!
Thanks 👍
Izzy, you're a genius... You took the Land Rover video and flipped it on its ears. I love this bit to death :).
Wow Izzy, I have a jointer/planer combo but I've been thinking about a simple re-saw jig. I currently just use the pointed board as a fence which is much better than doing it just by eye. Your jig there has got me thinking. thinking I need a better bandsaw, lol! But seriously nice jig.
Nice! Many jigs are just "getterdone" designs, and that is great, but you guys have made a real tool worthy of respect. Well done!
@IzzySwan thanks for the lesson. You would probably laugh at my itty bitty bandsaw...lol. I can pick it up one handed...runs on drill power...I'm only starting out and I wasn't sure if I would use one. I paid less than $50/cdn...don't remember exactly but it was cheap. The guy I got it from had upgraded...lucky me!
Nice jig - even just for resawing, it would be very handy. Thanks, Izzy.
Idea is legit. The infeed outfeed tables are thte star of the show imho. Although, the 3HP bandsaw and blade setup arent too shabby either. However, In my garage shop, there isnt even room for those awsome i/o tables. Guess ill just have to watch and fantasize.
Great jig. Well developed. You always have good ideas and are able to make them a reality. At present I can't use a jig like this but I have learned a few things about clamping systems that I can use on other jigs. Thanks
Great job Izzy. I see you use a drill to tighten the clamp bolt. It appears that the bolt presses against the stop block. In time the stop block will crack. This can be mitigated by attaching a 1/8” steel plate on the stop block.
I subbed because this is the "Can Do" mentality that's needed to succeed. But the cat's out of the bag, The Miss's knows how much you saved, I suspect you doing more than cuttin' wood!! LOL.
Love you, love Maggie, love my band saw but frankly Izzy, I could more easily fit a jointer (no I couldn’t) than fit a jig like this in my tiny shop. Looking forward to tiny shop jigs in the future.
Just in awe on how you came up with this! Keep up the great work. Gonna have to thru this several times to understand thoroughly however!
If you need to flatten rough sawn, a sled for your planer might save more of the original dimensions. This setup definitely reduces the load on dust collection, though. I’d suggest it’s better for resawing rather than “jointing”, but it’s a very nice rig!
Great practical and informative video as always, the genius of Izzy!
Another great, informative video! Thank you Izzy, and Team Izzy!
If I had an industrial-strength, super expensive bandsaw like yours, I wouldn't need a jointer, either. Fact is, with an old Delta-Milwaukee 14" bandsaw, and just re-sawing a 6" wide board is a pain in the ass.
You've killed this izzy !! a big thumbs up 👍
Functional and somehow aesthetically pleasing.
bad maggie telling him you dont love him like that lol. not sure how many times i have told my wife the same thing. ITS THE SAME THING!!! great channel and videos.
Great video - I'll be building this. I'm interested to know what outfeed and infeed tables you've got for your bandsaw - or did you just make your own?
Found the answer in the comments - you built them yourself. Very cool. Thanks again.
I think this could be great for making veneer!
There is no right or wrong way to work. Every person and every task is unique. That’s a crazy nice setup, but I have to say I’m beyond tired of hearing how jointers aren’t needed. I must have jointed 1000 boards mid stream in my hobby shop. It’s fast and easy. This is not a jointer alternative. It’s an entirely different use case.
Fyi “S4S stands for "surfaced on 4 sides", meaning that the material is finished on all four sides. Dimensional lumber is commonly S4S. S4S finished lumber and dimensional lumber are labeled according to nominal size, or the size of the rough board before it was planed smooth”
You are a clever man, Izzy. Now, I know you need Maggie to stop you from going bankrupt but why doesn’t Powermatic gift you a jointer? 🌞
Maggie is a rock star. she always has my back
@@izzyswan Love you guys 🌞
well, it´s nice jig to cut off thin strips but to get plane boards, a jointeris (1) faster and (2) higher quality. Jig or no jig, it´s still a bandsaw, the heavy tool with the highest tolerances in the workshop. After all, there is a reason why jointers exist.
Would a hold down clamp that slides up and down work or would it not provide the clamping pressure necessary? I imagine if it wasn’t offset to the dado like your design it might just tend to cause it to slide?
I'm torn apart now should I buy a jointer or a band saw and make this jig? I live in Bangladesh getting flat wood from stores is not an option everything is rough lumber and also chances are after buying lumber name it cup, warp or twist they all have it to some degree.
Whats fascinating is the amount of dust collection that will be saved and reduced passes not to mention the noise levels of jointers holy shit!
I really like this idea. I resaw a lot of lumber. Question for you. After your first cut you have one flat side but it's not necessarily 90 degrees to the edge so you don't have a bottom reference. How do you make the 2nd cut on the other side and ensure it's coplaner to the first side you cut? I think you used a block of wood the same length as the base but it wasn't clear to me.
He runs it through the thickness planer and then does the edges at around 9 minutes.
@@TheLindsay720 thanks. Somehow I missed that last part of the video.
@@bwhite661 pleasure, mate!
Loving having the teacher in you back! Appreciate it
Hate to be that guy, but if the two sides of the board are "co-planar", then that implies that the thickness of the board is exactly zero and you have taken off too much material.😅
Izzy Swan: I didnt want to build this jig. Me: I don't believe you, Izzy Swan is the king of jigs.
Do you prefer this setup vs using a planer and a sled for the face and a tablesaw and jig for the edges? I'm guessing this is much faster with more waste vs the sled/jig being slower with less waste? So if you're only doing it a few times a year the waste doesn't really add up?
I’d keep Maggie happy. If you’re like me, something like that doesn’t come along twice in a lifetime!
Another great video with great tips and ideas.
Hahaha, she didn't say she didn't live you. She revoked your man card for needing permission to purchase a tool
I drew up a thing similar to this way back. I was told it wouldn't work. I never made it because of that. See if I ever listen to anyone ever again!
Admit it, Maggie is just a clean dose of reality that you need. So eat your veggies and stop complaining. 😊
Haha, that's what some men heard, you don't love me anymore
Ingenious ideas until an engineer or big corp steals you idea on the clamping system
6:46 An impact driver will obviously work to tighten the carriage bolts, although overkill in my opinion. A “little past snug” is probably plenty tight, so a drill driver with a high clutch setting would be my weapon of choice to be a little gentler on the clamps. I love the look of this jig though 👍
saying anything is "overkill" to a guy with a 700lb 3HP 15in bandsaw probably won't resonate.
I'm definitely not an expert... Can someone tell me why this is better than just shimming the board onto a sled so it doesn't wobble and sending it through the planer?
Love this. Gonna build one. Thanks for sharing!
Am I wrong in thinking that second pass is unnecessary? Could you not get away with the first pass then using the planer for the opposite side?
This is brilliant! 👏 Thank you for this!
"It's the same thing"
😂😅😂😅😂😅
Curvy parts. 😂😅😂😅❤
hahahahaha
Ok, I'm gonna ask. What kinda bike do you ride? 🙂
Makes me feel like a Turd for owning a jointer LOL But Good video nonetheless.
I've been there brother... When 12+ inches is needed to get the job done so you gotta just figure something else out 😂
Maggie is a cute lady with solid skills, but now I know she's mean, so it would never work out between us.
